got a chuckle out of that band nerds mention XD those self imposed limits on the friend group are rather cute sometimes - like you also probably wouldn't see the anime club people go bar hopping with the wanna-be developer/golfers. :P

very smart to keep that work boundary there with the fic ~ i know it's so tempting sometimes, but it also keeps the level of options open with what you can write, what topics you can explore without too many eyeballs.
